Warframe is one of those games everyone raves about, everyone loves and looks boring as piss to me.

I can’t explain why. I know I’m wrong, but… bleh. Maybe it’s the art, but I think a lot of it is the jumping and sliding all the time everywhere. And the 10 billion things. Mods and frames and guns and swords and whatevers and stuff and things. Anytime I’ve ever seen a streamer go to their tab to equip a weapon it’s like he’s doing his taxes with 50 people telling him the best way to get the biggest deduction.

Yeah, it can get a little over involved. I just ignore a lot of it, equip what I think is cool and / or fun and just enjoy the shooting. I hate hate hate shooters - FPS or TPS - that have you plod around like a lame brick and I love the “jumping and sliding”. I’m not terribly good at it but who cares. I’m not playing it with the target of being the best I can be. You can basically choose how deep you really want to get with all the collections.

As for art, I like that it deviates a little from the generic template normally used for armors in these sort of games (Destiny 2), but of course that very subjective and everyone’s got their own taste in art.

My biggest issue with Warframe is movement. Mostly because I’m old. The need to constantly be doing slides and jumps just to move forward makes my hand/pinky cramp something fierce. The screen is very busy so I also have trouble at time parsing what I’m looking at, but that’s just down to learning (and getting past my movement issues, which absorbs most of my focus).

My son just laughs at me, and has no issue. So I’m likely making things harder than they really are.

I dusted off the game again today after a long break and was pleased to discover that Saryn can still comfortably solo elite onslaught up to wave 8 np. Now I just have to check if anything changed regarding Mesa, Rhino, Ivara, Nidus or Equinox.
